Actor Ram Kapoor makes a personal confession during an episode of Netflix’s Lock Upp 2. In the episode, contestants are asked to protect another inmate’s secret for money; the keyword “Father” appears on screen and Kapoor says he helped his father plan his death. He describes his father’s initial diagnosis of pancreatic cancer at age 63, treatment that included chemotherapy sessions, and a period in which the cancer was brought under control. Kapoor then says his father’s illness returns after a cancer relapse, including during the COVID-19 lockdown period, and he explains that his father decided he no longer wanted to continue fighting. Kapoor recounts that his father asked him directly for help with dying and persuaded him that if Kapoor refused, his father would face the end of life alone. Kapoor also says his father wanted him present in the ICU and arranged that no one would know treatment was not continuing. He further states that his mother and sister have not spoken to him for more than five years. Kapoor frames the decision as something he believes he had to do, while telling fellow contestants that death no longer frightens him.
